CGI::Compress::Gzip

WARNING: as of v0.10 this is still alpha-quality code, but it's
rapidly approaching beta.  It runs just fine for simple standalone
scripts in perl 5.6.0, 5.6.1 and 5.8.0 (linux and darwin), and it
works under mod_perl in 5.6.0 (darwin).  0.10 finally got mod_perl
working.  0.04 just fixed some minor issues.  0.03 was an improvement
over 0.02 in that the mod_perl headers work, but the gzip filter was
still broken.

KNOWN ISSUE: This module fails tests specifically under Windows in
ways I do not understand, as reported by CPANPLUS testers.  There is
some problem with my IO::Zlib tests.  If anyone knows about IO::Zlib
failures or caveats on Windows, please let me know.

This module extends the CGI infrastructure to compresses output,
whenever possible.  It uses IO::Zlib (a filehandle wrapper around the
C zlib library).  If this is missing, the functionality degrades
gracefully to the typical CGI behavior.  The programmer can
selectively enable or disable the compression functionality at will.
This module does not rely on any particular server setup.  It should
work anywhere that CGI.pm works.

Apache mod_perl users may prefer the more straightforward
implementation offered by the Apache::Compress or Apache::GzipChain
modules, although those offer less control to the programmer.

Install via the usual:
  perl Makefile.PL
  make
  make test
  make install
